Gauchos are the cowboys of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. In the past, gauchos were very poor. The people who owned the ranches did not want beef. There were no refrigerators to keep the meat, so they could not sell it. As a result, the Gauchos ate meat three times a day. Today gauchos still work in South America but their lives are much better than they were in the past. And Hawaii has traditional cowboys called paniolos. Paniolo means Spanish in the Hawaiian language. In 1838, the king of Hawaii invited some vaqueros from Mexico to come to Hawaii. Vaquero means cowboy in Spanish. The king invited the vaqueros because some of them gave him cattle as a gift, but he did not know how to take care of them. Now there are only a few big ranches

Also, when the Aztecs were in Spain they began to adapt how the Spanish speak and write. After some time the Aztecs people and the Spanish people got married and their kids would be a mix of Aztec and Spanish blood and their child would be called a Mestizos. Something same, like the First Nations because when a First Nation and a European marry their child would be called a Métis. Though, before the land of the First Nations and Aztecs get conquered, this how they met. When the Europeans first meet the First Nations, they had a good trade relationship, but the Europeans were ethnocentric, and after a long time trading the First Nations, the Europeans wanted their land, so a war happened and in the middle of the war the First Nations began to have disease which caused the death of many people and warriors, so in the end they lost and that’s how the Canada’s Indigenous peoples land got taken over. Now, it’s a different, yet sort of the same situation with the Aztec, because when the Spanish or Cortés came onto the land of Tenochtitlan, the Aztecs greet them with gifts and also thought that Cortés were God
It is a long-with-standing stereotype that Italians love to gamble. This is true. My great grandfather, Pasquale Giovannone, played the riskiest hand of cards when he immigrated to the United States as an illegal stowaway at the age of thirteen. He forged a life for himself amidst the ever-changing social and political shifts of the early nineteenth century. The legacy he left would later lead to the birth of my father, John Giovannone, in Northern New Jersey in 1962.
The Yanomamo are a tribe of twenty thousand who live in about two hundred and fifty widely dispersed villages in Brazil and Venezuela.

Many people that were indigenous to New Spain and latter, Mexico had settled in Texas when it was a northern State of Mexico. Many contributed in an effort to tame the wild paradise and bring civilization to the region beyond what the Spanish missionaries had begun a century before. In 1821, Mexico gained independence from Spain, and began to actively recruit people to populate the land north of the Rio Grande with far more urgency that did Spain. The residents were both of Spanish decent as well as Euro-American. Those delegated the authority to organize these settlements were called Empresarios. The Empressarios applied for huge tracts of land and then had the authority to sell to those that wished to settle it and swear an allegiance to Mexico---- agreeing to become citizens as well as become Catholics. Mexicans that moved north to Texas were known as Tejanos ( Tejanas for the females) .In 1836, when Texas acquired independence from Mexico, Tejanos remained concentrated in settlements founded during the eighteenth century, namely Nacogdoches, San Antonio, Goliad, and Laredo. Other communities with a primarily Mexican descent population in 1836 included Victoria, founded by Martín De León in 1824, and the villages of San Elizario, Ysleta, and Socorro in far west Texas. ( Arnoldo De León,).
The people that lived in the region before the Spanish came to America were called the Purepechas. As the article, “Purepecha – Tarascan Indians” states that the Purepechas ruled the region of southern Mexico in the Michoacán, Jalisco state regions of Mexico and they were never conquered by the Aztecs, the P’urpechas also had their own religion music, and dances (Purepecha). One of those dances was the precursor to the old man and it held a deeply religious theme for the people of Purpechas. According to the Purepechas website on the article “La Danze de los viejetos” in Mexico the origin of the dance was of the religious ceremony to their old gods where one had the mask of a young person, while three other dancers had old men masks, there had to be four dancers because the number four was important to their culture (La Danza). The dance was dedicated to the universe and life as the number four was the most important aspect of the dance since each dancer represented, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the colors, red, blue, black and yellow, yellow representing corn the most important vegetable in Mexico (La Danza).The dance consisted of the four dancers dancing in a circle while one of the dancers, In particular the one with the young mask dancing ecstatically while the others surround the dancer. The roots of the modern dance are ingrained in the original purapaches dance, as both the original and the modern version have a lot of things in common. After the fall of the Purapaches empire in the hands of the

The Cahuilla were a Native Southern Californian tribe that occupied the Riverside County, Higher Palomar Mountain Region and East Colorado Desert. The tribe was divided into two groups or moieties know as Wildcats or Coyotes. The Cahuilla lived in small clans that varied in population, and together all the separate clans made up a larger political group called a sib ”http://www.aguacaliente.org/content/History%20&%20Culture/.” The tribe was at first considered to be very simple and savage because they were never interacted with. As the Europeans and Spanish Missionaries considered the desert an inhospitable place that was better to avoid because of its lack of food resources. Little did those European and Spanish missionaries know that the land was ripe with food, only if you knew the land and the seasons. The Cahuilla were a very interesting tribe that cared and loved their land and in return the land would provide them with an abundance of food and resources. The Cahuilla had a very simple yet intricate life that involved a seasonal migration in order to gain access to different foods. They relied on different ways of acquiring food which involved both hunting and gathering.
...eat'em, join'em." The gaucho fell victim to urbanization with little hope for upward mobility. This spawned a movement from the pampa to the city to fill employment opportunities.

Texas has a rich and long history and much of it has passed through the state over the years to become a part of its folklore. This Texas folklore is part of many cultures within the state and has even filtered outside the state. The first cultural influence on Texas was from the Paleo-American Indians. When these Indians arrived they were in a bit of a culture shock when they met the Spanish in the 16th century. In the following centuries, more people began to arrive in Texas and they brought new ways of talking, believing and doing things. The Spanish and the Mexican set the patterns south of Nueces and along the Rio Grande. Anglos brought their ways of life from the British Isles to the South and Eastern part of Texas. African Americans who came to work on the plantations on the Brazos and Trinity bottoms brought songs, stories and beliefs that came with them from Africa. Germans came directly from the Old World to the Hill Country, Cajuns came from France and eventually through Louisiana and settled in Southeast Texas. The Dutch, Danes, Polish, Czechs, Norwegians who also came here brought with them their ways of life and they all became bound together to become part of Texas. By the year 2000, Texas was made up of 54.5% Anglos, 31% Hispanic, 11.4% African Americans and another 3.1% of other ethnicities.

One of the most significant and creative events which took place during the years of emerging Chicanismo was the renaming of the Southwestern United States as Aztlan, to signify the name of the spiritual homeland of the Chicano people. After the Aztecs journeyed south from Aztl‡n to eventually found the city of Tenochtitlan and develop a powerful empire, culture and civilization, the legacy of Aztlan was kept alive in their narratives, manuscripts and oral traditions. Mexican culture has always informed Chicano art, but it is the American experience that truly gave birth to this distinct genre. The Aztecs migrated from a mythical homeland called Aztlán, and many Chicanos see the Southwestern U.S. as Aztlán, leading to the popular slogan, "We didn't cross the border - the border crossed us!" The social and ethnic body of the United States are damaged by wounds,
